- The overacting award goes to Dennis O'Hare for the Greer scene, especially all the lines about the guy jogging in the middle of the street at midnight, well deserved for how over the top he goes.
- Flagged earlier during the Dion Waiters discussion as getting a different award.

- The award goes to someone with very little screen time who makes the most of it, and this is called a unanimous election for Sidney Pollack, an acclaimed director in his own right who was born to play Marty Bach; the clip is played of Marty reading Arthur's files and realizing he is building a case against U North.
- Michael O'Keefe, Dennis O'Hare and Merit Weaver (as transcribed) are floated as other candidates; one voice is sold on Pollack despite having tried to dethrone him with Chris Cooper purely out of loyalty to Cooper, and a further 'I have to go Sidney Pollack, too' follows.
- In retrospect it is an elegiac role, since Pollack died about six months after the film came out; IMDb shows his actual final acting credit was the 2008 rom-com Maid of Honor (as transcribed), one of the great title puns, which one participant saw in the theater while skipping Michael Clayton; this is counted as his final performance, a fitting homage to the films he directed and to his presence as an actor.
- Pollack makes Marty so lived in, sunken eyes and all, that it has a trickle-down effect on everyone else's performances; Dennis O'Hare, as the man who does the hit and run in his Jaguar, is in the truest sense of the Dion Waiters Award probably the winner and will get a different award, but Pollack does the most with the time he has on screen.
